I cannot stress this enough: do not use email for organizing. Set strict retention so emails delete after a short period of time. Assume every Big Tech company will rat you out to the gestapo without lifting a finger to protect your rights theintercept.com/2025/09/16/g...

So grateful that Simon Copland wrote this excellent takedown. I thought I needed to write one, so was slogging my way through its arrogant, narrow-minded and turgid prose. Enough now. Abundant, one might say.

"Scientists and modelers have not merely warned of the #ClimateCrisis - they have also, often unwittingly, contributed to it by reinforcing an uncritical faith in technological salvation & sidelining more structural social transformations" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

If we want to get rid of Trump once and for all, we're going to have to reckon with the fact that our entire society supports bullies and encourages abuse. The democracy that comes out of this will not be the "democracy" that went into it.

When the state is reduced to police/army then the people are reduced to an occupied population

“This, without a doubt, is neoliberalism’s single most damaging legacy: the realization of its bleak vision has isolated us enough from one another that it became possible to convince us that we are not just incapable of self-preservation but fundamentally not worth saving.” - Naomi Klein

Israel's security cabinet has approved Netanyahu’s plan to take over and occupy Gaza City, forcibly displacing an estimated 1 million Palestinians sheltering there and establishing “camps” to confine Palestinians.

There are other ways to do things.

I'm thrilled to share this long-awaited review of Practicing Social Ecology authored by none other than Brian Tokar, the inspiring leader in ecological and climate justice work and a beloved personal mentor. Published just this morning by Resilience.org

After a five-day halt due to a lack of supplies, our team at WCK’s Deir al-Balah Field Kitchen has resumed limited hot meal service in Gaza. #ChefsForGaza (1/3)

Both the Ukrainian right and the Russian propaganda machine have tried to brand Ukrainian national identity as inherently tied up in right wing politics, but @vlstarodubtsev.bsky.social argues here that there is a deep egalitarian current in the development of that identity

Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's. And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today. Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

#PVDlocal / #RIlocal: Eleanor Finley's book Practicing Social Ecology is full of good things & I'm getting to talk with her about it this Saturday, 6/28 at 4pm, at Symposium Books. You should come! www.eventbrite.com/e/author-eve...

Could not have said this better myself: "There is a leap required, as well as attentive, inventive work: a leap, or many leaps, into the unknown-to-us, the unknown-so-far, the unknown-again."

I'm going to be talking to this very cool author and activist at @symposiumbooks.bsky.social on Friday. Providence, come to discuss the social-ecological crisis and leave with some ideas for how to get out of it.

Elevate the voices of people who have been talking about the violence of the Rightwing for decades. Those are the folks who know what they are talking about.

If you have a copy of Let This Radicalize You, pls note that there is an appendix in the back that talks about what to do if the police or any agent of the state shows up at your door. A trusted movement attorney wrote this section. Nothing will keep us 100% safe, but pls be aware of best practices.

The complete eradication of Rafah - a city with a quarter of a million residents - should and will be remembered as a crime against humanity, amongst the worst modern urbicides

Reports of an uprising inside Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark NJ. I was here with people trying to visit family when we all started choking due to tear gas used inside.

So still looking to talk with LA anti-ICE organizers and those involved in the demonstration, also expanding that request to basically all geographies. If you do that kind of work I’d love to interview you about it. Happy to figure out whatever way makes you safe to do an interview! DM for Signal #

borders and states aren’t real, anybody who wants to stroll into the U.S. should be able to do so whenever they want, I don’t fuckin care

Keep up with ICE raids in your area alert.stopice.net?alert=174922...

If you want to show solidarity with Los Angeles, the best thing to do is organize protests against ICE tonight/tomorrow in your own cities. Search the web for ICE rapid response networks in your own city / state and sign up. Help your neighbors.

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers… found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

I’ve spent years covering both immigration and Los Angeles and sending National Guard troops to LA feels like “a thinly-veiled message to Democratic-run places that retribution awaits those who would stand between immigrants and the administration’s deportation machine” economist.com/united-state...

How far can Rojava swim against the imperialist tide? Last week in Kurdish news medyanews.net/how-far-can-...

This is a bad sign the occupyDemocrats accounts are now starting to say that any kind of property destruction is the sign of far right infiltration of their events This kind of broken windows thinking is what got us here in part and must be pointed out as the status quo mantinence propaganda it is.
